Chapter 317: Let Him Go

Xia Yayun could not help it, and she did not want to either.

Now that she was in the Orchid Courtyard, the few people she cared about did not want to talk to her anymore, so she did not care about making more enemies.

“It’s just a few rumors circulating out there, and you think it’s true? Do you think that the Xie family are good people? Have you all forgotten that Xie Pinggang almost bullied Sister Dong?!” Xia Yayun said with a sneer.

Everyone fell silent.

“Young Lady Xia, Xie Pinggang’s matter has nothing to do with Xie Qiao, right?” Someone asked.

“Nothing? A woman’s reputation is very important. Xie Pinggang had fallen in love with my Sister Dong. When he failed in his courtship, he actually wanted to hit her. He almost made my Sister Dong lose face! If this happened to you guys, would you think that Xie Qiao is innocent?! Since her surname is Xie, she is never innocent!” Xia Yayun added.

Xie Qiao heard that and looked at her.

“Think about it carefully. Young Lady Xia mentioned Young Lady Dong many times, so you bullied me several times to avenge your Young Lady Dong? But why do I feel that… Young Lady Dong of the Peony Courtyard has never stood up for you?” Xie Qiao said with a smile.

Whether in the imperial palace or in the academy, Dong Xiyun was very good at protecting herself.

“You still want to slander her! You’re just like your brother, a shameless sl*t!” Xia Yayun directly cursed.

Xie Qiao’s face turned cold.

“I have heard a little about my Eldest Brother’s matter. At that time, there was only Dong Xiyun’s maidservant around and no one else to testify. My Eldest Brother has never been interested in women. Whether he did it or someone wants to frame him, it’s hard to say!” Xie Qiao said coldly.

If her eldest brother’s fate did not change, he definitely would not be able to marry a wife for the rest of his life!

He did not understand romance and was not good with women. How could such a person humiliate Dong Xiyun?!

She had never believed it!

“Xie Qiao, don’t go too far! What do you mean by that? My Sister Dong doesn’t even know him. Why would she use her own innocence to frame him?! Your Xie family can really twist the truth!” Xia Yayun became even angrier.

“Everyone knows that there isn’t even a female fly by my brother’s side. He has always been clean and self-loving. It isn’t normal for such a scandal to suddenly spread. Perhaps…” Xie Qiao smiled faintly and lowered her brows as he flipped through the book in her hand, she said slowly, “A young girl’s love was rejected by my brother. She was suddenly struck by a blow and started spouting nonsense?”

When Xie Qiao said that, Xia Yanyun was so angry that she was on fire.

“Xie Qiao, you have no sense of shame. How can you humiliate Sister Dong like this?!” Xia Yayun wanted to charge forward and strangle Xie Qiao to death.

However, Xie Qiao did not seem to be in a hurry, “Have any of you heard that my Brother has no respect for women other than Young Lady Dong? My Brother has already passed the age of marriage. He’s still a virgin. All he wants to do is serve the imperial court. He doesn’t know how to be amorous. When it comes to getting a wife, he has yet to be enlightened!

“It doesn’t make sense that Young Lady Dong’s reputation is valuable, but my Eldest Brother’s is worthless, right? Just because Young Lady Dong made noise first? Isn’t that a little pathetic?

“If that’s the case, then I’ll have to tell my Eldest Brother in the future not to be too powerful. He looks like a bad guy. In the future, if Young Lady Dong comes any closer and makes noise within three meters, I’m sure Young Lady Dong will see that he’s pitiful, so she’ll let him go,” Xie Qiao recited the scriptures, then she said softly.

These words really subverted everyone’s understanding.

They were even a little confused. Could it be that Xie Pinggang was really innocent?!

That was impossible. Dong Xiyun was a talented woman. She would not be so self-deprecating.

Although Xie Qiao talked a little too much, Xia Yayun was the one who started this after all. Everyone was trying their best to pretend not to hear it.

The rest were not like Xia Yayun, vouching for Dong Xiyun everywhere they went.
